Wegmans is facing legal action after failing to conform to the requirements of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), a law passed in 2003 designed to protect consumers from identity theft by limiting the information that can appear on credit card receipts.

The law demands that a credit or debit card receipt cannot reveal more than that last five digits of a purchaser's card, and must not show the expiry date. Violators are subject to paying $1,000 for each infraction of the law.

A US Federal Trade Commission survey has revealed that more than 3.2 million people were victims of identity theft in 2005.
